Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep ExplorerBandai Namco releases Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer today. This game is an exploration action RPG that supports up to three players in online co-op. Sword Art Online is a famous light novel adapted to several mangas and animes. The action takes place in virtual games in the Seed network and the main character is a young man named Kirito. In Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer, a mysterious space suddenly appeared in the Seed network, known as "Unknown". Players challenge a new adventure with Kirito and his friends and encounter a new brand new heroine named Rico (voice by Higashiyama Nao). Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer features two terminals (ViSTer): ViSTer station to play the game and ViSTer terminal to purchase profile card and ressources cards (items). On the ViSTer station, players control 3 characters to challenge different quests (defeat monsters and explore dungeons) from the mysterious space Unknown. They use a stick to move the characters and perform actions such as steps and guards with the L1 and L2 buttons. To activate various skills, players can touch the skill panel at the bottom right of the screen. At the start of the game, the skill level is 0 and it rises by defeatig enemies and succeeding missions. The upper left numerical value displayed on the screen is the "activity limit", and when it reaches 0, the quest fails. It decreases over time but also when the character's HP goes to 0 (the character ressurects anyway). At the end of a mission, the characters gain experience and can level up.

Wikipedia summary: Sixth-grader Haruo spends practically his entire day at an arcade in the seedy part of town, oblivious to the world around him.

Akira completely outmatches Haruo in one Street Fighter II round after another, and their relationship develops from this unlikely encounter. Haruo is voiced by K?hei Amasaki (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans) and Akira by Sayumi Suzushiro (The Magnificent KOTOBUKI). High Score Girl manga is written and illustrated by Rensuke Oshikiri, the anime series is animated by J.C.Staff, directed by Yoshiki Yamakawa and written by Tatsuhiko Urahata, featuring character designs by Michiru Kuwabata.
